Taking Jordan's Tourism Industry Into the DigitL Age

I'm currently attending a USAID seminar in Mastering Social Media to
Boost Tourism Bookings. The seminar is being conducted at the landmark
hotel located somewhere near the third roundabout, if you ever visited
you'll know where that is we've got eight.

The seminar goes to state Internet and social networking facts, all
about the speed by which a post can spread. They just aired a flash
mob video that took place in Beirut international airport for the
Beirut duty free. Then the seminar goes to entice sharing during
travel, since a recommendation has a higher chance going longer coming
from peers, or normal people with similar experiences.

More to come.

Amman international marathon

The event is this Friday Oct 28th, getting ready for a 10k fun run. My best time so fat is around 54 minutes. The average runner completes 10km in 45 minutes.

Aiming for 46 minutes. Ill update this post with my record time :-)

The Inevitable

What we all fear? The simple thought of under-performing.. in general. The thought that we might at any minute get laid off, not being able to socialize properly just because one single thought has been haunting our minds for the past god knows how long; under-performing is not being able to accomplish a single task for whatever reason.

Dogs on the other hand, never think about the possibility of under-performing. Playing fetch and not getting the ball back is just as good as not even running after it in the first place.

Humans have developed brains to excel, to rule natural selection. Yet, we always seem to forget that our minds are the only biological device that will put you down.. depending of course on the ability to control that device.

Some of us have the ability to live on synthetic happiness. A technique that will fake the brain into thinking we are happy. This I assume, is a temporary solution to an inevitable depression. What we need to do is figure out a way where we can stay happy during the majority of the day, even if this means facing a downturn for the short-run. How else will we ever change.

Bobby has moved back to my parent's house, visiting him is my daily highlight.

Quick question: Any suggestions on what to sell in an online store? (please list anything that you think could be a potential good sell) - I've been laid off - AGAIN.
